Another way is to take note of any building work going on in your neighbourhood. There will always be a sign on display, which should contain all the builder’s contact details.

Advertisements

If you’re looking through the ads in your local newspaper, a tip to make sure you get the right person for your job is to look at their specialty. A contractor who is doing only one type of construction work is likely to have more experience and knowledge in that area.

Other options

You can also contact industry associations, like the QMBA or HIA, as well as building material suppliers and hardware stores.
